This is really a refreshing drink, and also quite addictive and definitely great for the immune system. Just don’t over do it!
Ingredients (serves about 8)
1 cup of grated ginger
600 ml filtered water
Juice of 2 lemons
Honey to your taste
Sparkling water to taste
There are two methods to making this one is to let the ginger seep, the other is to do it with raw ginger. Whichever works for you both are good. I find the raw easier and has a slightly fresher ginger taste.
Seeping Method
- Grate one cup of ginger, in a saucepan so you dont lose any juice
- add 600ml filtered water to the saucepan with a lid
- Bring to boil and then take off the heat , leaving lid on
- Leave for seep for 1 – 2 hour/s
- Add juice of 2 lemons
- Strain ginger/lemon mixture into a sterilized bottle and store in fridge
- Add honey (i usually add two table spoons
- When ready to drink add about 60 – 80 ml ginger/lemon combo to a glass serve cold for the ultimate refreshing taste (add mint too if you have)
- Fill to the top with cold sparkling water and enjoy!
Raw Method
- Peel about 400 grams of ginger
- Put it into a powerful blender with about 600 ml of filtered water and half a cup of honey (or honey to your taste)
- Squeeze 2 lemons into the blender
- Pulverise everything
- Strain all the bits out and put into a sterilised bottle in the fridge.
- Add to sparkling water when you have a thirst that only this drink can quench!
